Carney talks major projects with Inuit leaders in Inuvik
The meeting of the Inuit-Crown Partnership Committee will be co-hosted by Natan Obed, president of Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, in Inuvik, N.W.T.
Obed says Inuit have many questions about Bill C-5 and are hoping the meetings provide clarity on the role they play in a single Canadian economy.
The recently passed One Canadian Economy Act gives Ottawa the power to fast-track projects it deems to be in the national interest by sidestepping environmental protections and other legislation.
Indigenous leaders have accused the federal government of failing to consult with them adequately when the legislation was being drafted and amended, and Carney has promised to hold talks with First Nations, Inuit and Métis leaders to get input on how projects can proceed.
After Carney met with First Nations leaders in Ottawa last week, some chiefs said they were left with more questions than answers and no clear idea of how the government plans to implement its agenda.
In a video posted to social media Wednesday, Indigenous Services Minister Mandy Gull-Masty said the meeting is a forum for discussing how to move projects forward in a mutually beneficial manner while respecting Inuit sovereignty rights.

FIRST READING: Mark Carney is pleasing old people and basically nobody else
First Reading is a Canadian politics newsletter curated by the National Post's own Tristin Hopper. To get an early version sent directly to your inbox, sign up here. Article content Three months after the federal election, Prime Minister Mark Carney remains smack dab in the middle of his honeymoon period. Article content An approval rating of 61 per cent. Satisfaction with the government is at highs not seen since the first term of Justin Trudeau. Some polls have Carney's Liberals enjoying a 10-point lead over the Conservatives. Article content Article content In that cohort, 56 per cent of respondents favoured the Liberals against just 28 per cent prepared to vote Conservative. Article content This continues to make Canada the only Western democracy in which the usual demographics of political leanings have been flipped on their head. Article content Everywhere from the U.K. to Germany to the United States, young people continue to favour left-wing parties while old people favour right-wing parties. Article content In the recent Australian general elections, held just a week after Canada's, the left-wing Labor Party won a surprise victory by sweeping constituencies disproportionately populated by younger voters. Article content Some of Canada's peer countries may have conservative parties that are gaining support among young people, or are doing better than usual among younger cohorts. But Canada remains the outlier as a place in which the average 25-year-old is more likely to vote conservative than the average 65-year-old. Article content During the April federal election, in fact, voters in their 20s consistently emerged as one of the strongest single cohorts showing support for the Conservatives. Article content In one of the most surprising manifestations of the trend, a straw poll held among Canadian high school students ended up delivering a result that was more conservative than the general electorate. If it had been up to teenagers, Canada would have had a Conservative minority government. Article content The final days of the election also featured the equally bizarre spectacle of Conservative ads specifically targeting old white men in an attempt to arrest that cohort's stampede to the Carney Liberals.

Comeback or crash? Hydrogen stocks: thyssenkrupp nucera, SFC Energy, dynaCERT!
SFC Energy shocked investors with a revenue and profit warning. The stock fell by around 30% in one day, wiping out all of the year's gains. What were the reasons for this, and what does the future hold for the former insider tip in the defense and investment hype? dynaCERT (TSX:DYA) has impressed with a new order from France. The cleantech company is helping a port reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. If the marketing offensive in the first half of the year continues to bear fruit, the stock could be poised for an exciting comeback. thyssenkrupp nucera is already on an upward trend. Although the share price failed to break through the EUR 11 mark, the situation is still significantly better than at Nel and Plug Power. This article is disseminated in partnership with Apaton Finance GmbH. It is intended to inform investors and should not be taken as a recommendation or financial advice. Is this the starting signal for a comeback for the dynaCERT (TSX:DYA) share in the second half of the year? We have repeatedly emphasized here that the cleantech company must now deliver sales success following its marketing offensive in the first half of the year in order for the share price to rise. The first step in this direction has now been taken. It has been reported that cranes in the port of Rochefort-Tonnay-Charente in France are to be equipped with dynaCERT's HydraGEN technology. The port's goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions caused by the equipment, machinery, and facilities used in the port area. The customer had been testing the performance of the HydraGEN devices since December 2024. Emissions measurements were taken from cranes with and without dynaCERT technology. The port authority was satisfied. Gérard Pons, President of the Rochefort-Tonnay-Charente Commercial Port Joint Association, commented: ' With this decision, we are reducing our environmental footprint and saving fuel. This will make the port more competitive, forward-looking, and in line with the desire for a state-of-the-art port that is attractive to businesses and investors alike. This system is not only an improvement from a technical point of view, but also reflects our vision of a future-oriented Rochefort .' dynaCERT is thus gaining a foothold in Europe and expanding its range of applications. Until now, the Canadian company with German management has been primarily successful in the field of trucks for the oil and mining industries in America. The potential is even greater: dynaCERT's technology can make any diesel engine cleaner. Its core product, HydraGEN™, is a hydrogen-based on-demand add-on system that uses electrolysis to introduce small amounts of H₂ and O₂ into the combustion process. This improves diesel combustion, reduces fuel consumption, and lowers emissions. Users of the technology also receive emission certificates, which can be sold to generate additional revenue. The technology is designed as a retrofit solution for existing fleets, particularly in heavy-duty transport, buses, and construction equipment. In an interview with Lyndsay Malchuk, dynaCERT's COO, Kevin Unrath, expressed his confidence. thyssenkrupp nucera: The new hydrogen star? Without much fanfare, thyssenkrupp nucera's share price has performed well in recent weeks. From below EUR 8 at the beginning of April, the hydrogen specialist's share price approached the EUR 11 mark in July. Although this level could not quite be maintained last week, the stock is working on an upward trend. The price performance was fueled by positive news. Compared to Nel and Plug Power, the quarterly figures were better received. In particular, the German hydrogen hopeful showed significantly stronger performance, especially on the earnings side. In the third quarter of 2025, revenue amounted to EUR 184 million, down from EUR 237 million in the same quarter of the previous year. Consolidated EBIT stagnated at EUR 0 million. However, the loss in the hydrogen segment improved from EUR -23 million to EUR -13 million. In the first nine months, revenue rose from EUR 609 million to EUR 663 million. nucera improved its consolidated EBIT from EUR -13 million to EUR 4 million. The order backlog as of June 30, 2025, stood at approximately EUR 0.7 billion. nucera is also suffering from subdued investment activity in the hydrogen sector. As a result, the Group had to reduce its revenue forecast for the current year to between EUR 850 and 920 million (previously: EUR 850 to 950 million). The improved earnings forecast may have come as something of a surprise. The EBIT margin was specified at between -EUR 7 and EUR 7 million (previously: -EUR 30 to EUR 5 million). At the same time, the Company announced a new major order from India: Chemicals group TGV SRAAC Ltd. is expanding its chlor-alkali plant in the state of Andhra Pradesh using nucera's latest eBiTAC technology. The production capacity for caustic soda is to increase to 1,500 tons per day. nucera will supply proprietary cell elements and engineering for the expansion. The partnership with TGV SRAAC has been in place since 2004 and includes several joint projects in the field of chlor-alkali electrolysis. SFC Energy: Trust destroyed SFC Energy caused a shock on Thursday. After the stock was celebrated as one of the beneficiaries of the defense and investment boom in the current year, the annual forecast had to be reduced on Thursday. The reasons given were US tariffs and the strong euro. SFC Energy now expects annual revenue of between EUR 146.5 million and EUR 161 million (previously: EUR 160.6 million to EUR 180.9 million). Adjusted EBIT is now expected to be between EUR 5 million and EUR 11 million, rather than between EUR 17.5 million and EUR 20.6 million. The SFC Energy Management Board expects that, despite a very good project pipeline, several planned project awards in the Defense segment, particularly in India, will be postponed to 2026. On the income side, higher expenses for the introduction of a new ERP system, IT, and cybersecurity infrastructure also contributed to the profit warning. The hydrogen sector remains both a challenge and an opportunity – for companies and investors alike. nucera and dynaCERT show that demand remains strong. Among the major players, the German companies appear to be overtaking former favorites like Nel and Plug Power. dynaCERT offers an exciting comeback story, especially if additional orders are secured in the coming months. At SFC Energy, there are still a few issues to be addressed. The hype around the Company appears to have subsided for now.

Dollarama and its Bold Move into Australia
Canadian-based Dollarama Inc. officially closed its acquisition of Australia's The Reject Shop Altogether, the acquisition is an all-cash deal worth approximately C$233M The Reject Shop operates over 390 stores nationwide and employs over 5-thousand staff stores nationwide and employs over 5-thousand staff Alpha Ba, 'Over the past 5 years, Dollarama's stock has returned approximately 30% annually. This article is a journalistic opinion piece which has been written based on independent research. It is intended to inform investors and should not be taken as a recommendation or financial advice. Montreal Retail Giant Dollarama Completes a C$259M Acquisition of The Reject Shop Dollarama Inc. (TSX: DOL), Canada's premier value retailer, officially closed its acquisition of Australia's The Reject Shop on July 30, 2025, in an all‑cash deal worth approximately A$259 million (C$233 million) The takeover, approved by The Reject Shop's board and its major shareholder (Kin Group, ~20.8% stake), offered A$6.68 per share—a 108–112% premium over historical prices Headquartered in Melbourne, The Reject Shop operates over 390 stores nationwide, generated about A$852–866 million in sales in 2024, and employs over 5,000 staff. To begin with, Alpha Ba, Chief Officer at Pillow Investments, a global investment consulting firm based in Toronto defines three core dimensions of the acquisition. Firstly, Dollarama has delivered superior investment performance, seized a transformative opportunity in Australia, and now aims to drive growth through efficiency gains. Superior Investment Performance To illustrate superior investment performance, Ba states,'Over the past five years, Dollarama's stock has returned approximately 30 per cent annually, more than double The Reject Shop's 12.5 per cent,' noting Dollarama's operational efficiency and capital discipline. Alpha Ba, Partner & Chief Investment Officer, Pillow Investments In addition, Ba points out, 'We are confident that Dollarama can instill those superior management skills into The Reject Shop.' Dollarama's Transformative Opportunity in Australia At this point, with the acquisition now closed, Dollarama gains an immediate platform of nearly 400 stores. In addition, The Reject Shop's performance—sales at A$852 million in 2024—offers foot traffic and reach if re‑energized properly. Ba continues: 'The Reject Shop had been dogged by tough competition and low profitability due to poor merchandise selection and high shoplifting/shrinkage.' Dollarama: Efficiency Gains as the Growth Engine Dollarama plans to revitalize the business by leveraging improved sourcing, boosting private‑label penetration, and opening new stores at a low capital cost of under A$100K each. To further illustrate this, that expansion targets include growing store count to around 700 by 2038 — nearly doubling reach over the next decade. 'Dollarama plans to improve margins at the Reject Shop by leveraging its global sourcing, expanding its private label footprint and opening new stores in a cost-effective way.' Alpha Ba, Partner & Chief Investment Officer, Pillow Investment Another key point Ba makes is flagging the risks of the situation. These include, Australian retail volatility, cultural integration challenges, and product localization needs. To further his analysis, Ba notes this acquisition offers Dollarama a launchpad into the Asia–Pacific region. While at the same time, providing a real-time lab to scale its value-retail playbook. 'Over the past 5 years, Dollarama's stock … more than double … reflects Dollarama's superior operating performance and capital efficiency.' 'The target is for Dollarama too dramatically improve the Reject Shop's efficiency … expansion plan to 700 stores by 2038.' Alpha Ba, Partner & Chief Investment Officer, Pillow Investments To conclude, If Dollarama executes its sourcing and merchandising strategy in Australia, it could unlock significant value. This move may reshape the country's discount retail landscape. It could also boost long-term returns for shareholders.
